Step Inside

Higher Polstreath is a beautifully modern bungalow perched high above St Austell Bay, where panoramic sea views and a wonderful sense of calm create an immediately luxurious feel.


Step into the hallway and you are drawn straight into the breathtaking open plan heart of the home, where vast glass doors wrap around the living and dining space and place the wide expanse of ocean centre stage.


Bathed in natural light, the interiors have been thoughtfully designed to complement the coastal setting, with pared-back contemporary styling, elegant finishes and deep ocean blues echoed in the luxurious soft furnishings.


The stylish kitchen strikes a beautiful balance between modern sophistication and relaxed coastal living, pairing sleek industrial touches with more timeless details to create a space that feels both refined and welcoming.


Wonderfully well equipped, it has everything you could need to prepare anything from an easy breakfast before a day on the beach to a memorable supper shared with family and friends.


Beyond the living space, four beautifully presented bedrooms continue the sense of light, space and understated luxury that flows throughout the house.


Each bedroom has its own individual character, yet all share the same crisp, airy feel, creating restful sanctuaries that feel both soothing and indulgent.


After evenings spent lingering over drinks as the light softens across the bay, sink into dreamy beds dressed for comfort and let the gentle rhythm of the ocean lull you to sleep.


Come morning, wake slowly to the sound of the sea and the promise of another day on this beautiful stretch of Cornwall’s south coast.

On Your Doorstep

Slide open the full-height glass doors and step out into your holiday garden, where sweeping views of blue sea, green headlands and passing boats create a breathtaking setting from morning through to dusk.


With the coastline stretching out before you, the terrace is made for long, lazy lunches in the sunshine, relaxed afternoons with a good book and memorable suppers gathered around the table as the light begins to soften over the bay.


Whether you are sharing the catch of the day over a sunset feast or simply savouring a quiet morning coffee in the sea air, this is outdoor living at its most effortless and inviting.


Perched just moments from the South West Coast Path, Higher Polstreath is perfectly placed for exploring the beauty of Cornwall’s captivating south coast.


A gentle ten-minute stroll brings you to the heart of Mevagissey, where the harbour hums with life, colourful boats bob on the water and the village’s welcoming atmosphere invites you to slow down and soak it all in.


Pick up a homemade pasty from Cornwall’s second largest fishing port, browse for fresh local ingredients for supper, or simply linger a while among the independent shops, cafes and winding streets.


For a memorable day out, take the ferry across St Austell Bay to the charming town of Fowey, where estuary views, stylish shops and cobbled lanes create the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon of exploring.


Other nearby treasures include the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the iconic Eden Project, while a drive west leads to the Roseland Peninsula, where secluded coves, wooded creeks and unspoilt countryside reveal yet more of Cornwall’s quieter beauty.


Whether your days are filled with coast path walks, harbour-side lunches, beach adventures or simply soaking up the view from your terrace, Higher Polstreath promises an unforgettable stay in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful settings.
